REGISTER TODAY.

IL should be the first duty of every citizen
who has not yet registered to see that his name
is placed on the rolls to-day Tomorrow will
be the last day of registration but it is not sd fc
to put off until tomorrow what can be done
to- day Too many citizens arc in the habit of
neglecting this important duty until the last
moment, when they may not find it convenient
to register, and so lose their votes The blum
der which gave Brooklyn an extra days regis
tration this year added nearly 10000 names
to the rolls All of these men would have been
disfranchiscd except for an accidental circum-
stance with which they had nothing to do.
When the registration closes tomorrow night
In this city there should not be 10000 citizens
disfranchised by their own Incidence or neglect
But if the neglect to register is as great rs on
tho first two days there will be $4,000 dis
flanchiscd voters in this city this year.
Unfortunately 1t is the so-callod better
element who neglect this duty. The boodlcrs,
in combination with the owners Of low grOg
shops, will see that every thief and criminal
in the city is registered to vote for their ticket.
There are over 5000 voters in the XXlst
Assembly District. Only 3,061 of these have
yet registered. In the Iyth Assembly District,
ECO voters less than in tho XXIst District.
and yet there are l,0l8 more voters
registered in the WITH than in
tho XXlst or "brownstOnc" district There
are POO less voters In the LIST District, where
Doodle Alderman Olcary lives than in the
Xlth District. which was represented in the
Board of Aldermen by a Republican who voted
against all the Doodle jobs 4; and yet there are
600 more voters registered so far IN tho LIST
than in the XIth District. Tho contrast be-
tween other Republican and Democratic dis
trcts is equally significant. The boodlcrs are
at work for their ticket. Republicans are
falling short Of their duty. A whole
block OF brownstono houses is said
to show only about half dozen voters regis
tered so far. But the rooms over an East
Side GROCERY owned by a Doodle Alderman
show twice many alleged voters registered
as that block Of brownstone houses.
These facts require no comments. lntcll-
gent citizens who neglect to register in such a
crisis as this encourage crime and robbery Of
the public treasury by opening the way for
n victory Of the worst elements Of society.
Republicans of the With. With, Nth. XIIlth
and XXIst districts, and those residing IN
every other district, should register to-day.
The books will be open from a. IN. to
p. m. Great issues are al stake. DO not fail
Of your duty in this crisis.

STARVdTTON CAMP IN LONDON.

There are many signs Of desperation IN the
condition Of the unemployed in London. The
invasion Of Westminster Abbey by throng Of
hungry men and the shrill demand from its
leaders that the preachers should give up half
OF their snug salaries 10 the poverty stricken
classes indicate growing spirit Of reckless
ness among them. Night after night Trafalgar
Square has swarmed with the homeless out
casts Of the populous nation of London. Early
in the afternoon the benches are occupied by
those who have eaten the only scanty meal
they are able TO procure In twenty four
hours, and who know that failure to get
seat will involve the additional discomfort of
bed OH the stone pavement. When the seats
are filled all the sheltered hooks and corners
of the great square are seized by late
corners After twilight there is standing
room only, and when the Socialist harangues
are ended for the night thousands of the poor

eddy become effective workers for the success
of the whole ticket. There must be no ground
for the assertion that Mr. Nicoll lacks the
hearty support Of all Republican leaders
The present situation is not wholly novel to
Mr.. NicOii. This is not the first time he has
felt under public obligation to exert himself
against arbitrary bosses and corrupt ringsr
within his own party lines. A few years ago,
before his political Identification with this
city ho MAS prominent in the affairs of Long
Island. The Democracy Of his county was
then in bondage " a knavish boss and cor
IuEt ring. lis District Attorney was the sub
jet of much scandal, and the facts in clear
case Of bribery became known to Mr. Nicoll.
The result was speedy investigation. b. w.
Downing, the official in question, was arraigned
on charges before Governor Cleveland. lie
was accused of accepting 800 from the rca-
tiyes of murdered man as an induccmcnt for
him to prosecute the assaant for murder,
though he was VIGOROUSLY guilty of much
less serious crime. The charges were tried be-
fore Charles ). Fairchild, now Mr.. Clcveland's
Secretary Of the Treasury, on whose report
The Governor found Downing guilty. In this
admirable work Of reform Mr. Nicoll, though
not the attorney Of record. was the prime mover.
But his services to tho cause Of public honesty
did not end here While the charges were
pending, Downing, with an audacity worthy Of
Maurice J. Power himself. induced his party

Senate. Like Tweed, he wanted "vindca-
tion." Mr.. Nicoll waited only long enough to
read the Governors memorandum Of removal.

TIE BOODLFRS NAN FOR DISTRICT
ITTORNEJ

The apologists and defenders Of Colonel
Fellows try to hide the real point as to his
financial difficulties under cloud Of words.
They declare with great emphasis that he has
paid off most Of the judgments against him;
but how about the debts which complaisant
or long suffering creditors never pressed to
judgment I'm the case Of any man who
misuscs his credit the number of claims
against him which are carried through the
courts and on which judgments are obtained
bears a small proportion to the number OF
those held by persons who are not willing to
60 so far in order to get what is justly their
due. 4 man so prominent in the County
Democracy as Colonel Fellows has been. and
ono who has occupied public Office for years
in which he could if he pleased seriously annoy
and injure politicians and others who might
bring court proceedings against him. certainly
must have involved himself most seriously
and most ncxcusaby when so long a list Of
debts for which judgments have been obtained
can be made public.
Perhaps Colonel Fclows's friends would like
to have the complete history of the debt ut the
Metropolitan Hotel, which he settled in an
extremely peculiar manner, rccountcd? Per
haps they would like 10 have the entire record
Of his poker debts at the Blossom Club and
elsewhere hunted up? Colonel Fellows may
be a poor man, AZ he and his partisans pathctl-
cally declare but it is an open secret in every
place Of public resort in New-York that his
lack of ready cash is due to riotous living
rather than TO any legitimate demands upon
him. and even the most hardened apologst
Of the County Democracy cannot pretend that
he has not VIGOROUSLY and fiagrantly violated
every obligation Of honor and honesty in the
reckless mourning Of obligations which he never
intended to pay. His reputation is simply
that Of an eloquent dead beat.

Over in England they have. now another great

is a son Of Hermit, the most successful sire OF
this generation. Mr.. Chapns renowned father Of
flyers Is getting old but this son of his old
age is gliding his declining days with lustre
that no Of his offspring has surpassed.
The Prince OF Wales the intimate friend Of Sir
Frederick Johnston, is reported In some quarters
10 have an interest in Friar's Balsam However
this may be, IL is certain that tho Prince and
his friends have freely backed the colt in his
races. The unbcatcn youngstcr is now a tremendous
favorte for the Derby next year 1t Is difficult
TO Judge how any three year-old Of 1888 can cope
with him if he comes to the post in the form
he has shown this year. The difficulty in the way
is that he has shelly and brittle hoofs like those
OF the famous American colt Sensation, one Of
the best horses that ever looked through bride
on this side Of the ocean, and who like Friar's
Balsam. never knew the bitterness Il failure in
his two-ycar old career. Sensations h0ofs were so
shelly that George l.. LOrilard his owner who
considered him the best horse nc ever had never
could start him after his first season on the turf
